While Zo continued to visit Cage in the hospital, he also took on the responsibility of overseeing Cage's companies and restaurants, making sure that everything was falling into place. It wasn't the first time he had been charged with such heavy responsibility, so it wasn't too hard to handle. When his parents were still alive, there were moments when everything was left to him to take care of, and it was his honesty and painstaking hard work that earned him his reputation. They trusted and treated him like a fellow family member and he, in turn, did the same. Despite the weight of these additional duties, he was determined to keep his legacy alive and ensure that his master's business continued to thrive even in his absence. When he reported to the company the next day, he quickly called for a meeting. The impromptu meeting soon kicked off as soon as everyone was present. He spoke to them, making sure to remind them of their objective to keep things running smoothly whether their
Cage was able to heal tremendously fast in the next few days. The chest wound that he had sustained from the gun had almost healed up, so it wasn't the problem at the moment. He stirred from his long sleep and his eyes fluttered open as it clashed with the sharp rays from the sunlight which had already risen. He winced and slowly began to get up from his bed as he gradually came to consciousness. His thoughts immediately went to Chloe. He remembered so well that the last time he had asked about her, Zo told him that she was safe and was also in the hospital. He couldn't wait to go see her, but on a second thought, he wondered how she had been able to be saved. Had the Police caught Mason? How did she escape the evil traitor? Did she fight back? All these thoughts ran in and out of her mind as he pondered about what Zo had told him. There were a lot of questions that needed to be answered and he wasn't going to rest until he had the answers to the questions which he was seeking. The
As soon as they were settled and he was ready to hear what Cage had to say, Cage gave him his harrowing account of the events that led to Chloe's disappearance. The detective was more than shocked when Cage told him everything. That was because nobody could have believed that Mason had orchestrated the whole thing. Mason... it sounded so strange and so odd. This was because the man in question had been shot at the mansion. "So you are trying to tell me that Mason was behind all this. And he was the one that shot you and abducted your fiancé?" He asked, confusing Cage who wondered why the question was being asked. He had just explained everything and he was yet asking another question if he meant what he had just said. He nodded and continued his description. When he was done, the detective nodded and penned something into a small pocket book. "This changes everything. We need to act fast if we are going to get him. But I am happy that you are back on your feet. I think this is the
Mason howled in pain before staggering back and cupping the part where Cage had hit with one hand. Seeing the cast on the other hand made him even more enraged because it was clear that the bastard was trying to lie that he had had shot. He remembered the fake blood pill that Mason had shown him while pointing a gun at him. The way he made it burst with a childlike excitement and laugh, it was all there in his mind, reminding him of what the bastard did and what he deserved to go through. Before the officers could intervene, he steadied himself and delivered a sharp kick to his other arm which was on a cast. "Aargh!!" Mason screamed. "My arm, my arm!"Cage didn't stop there, he went full circle and jumped on him before delivering punches on his face. The brief scuffle was immediately stopped when some police officers separated them. Rochelle was too scared to speak but she knew she had to support her husband. She ran to Mason who was on the floor, whimpering about his arm and knelt
Mason was locked up as soon as they got to the station. The next day, he was led to the interrogation room where the detective was already waiting for him. The recorder under the table was pressed as soon as he was made to sit across from the detective and the recording began. The only source of light was the flickering overhead bulb which was intended to scare the person who was being interrogated. Mason looked so calm now, and it was very clear from the way he kept blinking that he had just woken up from sleep. The look on his face instantly went back to grave as the detective folded his arms in his chest and observed him for a while before the interrogation took off. "Let's cut the chase, Mason. We know you had a hand in Chloe's disappearance and Cage's shooting. Care to explain why you did it?" He asked. Mason's eyes narrowed slightly at the accusation even though he maintained his composure. The detective seemed too sure for somebody who didn't have proof. He replied. "Dete
The detective tapped his fingers against the wall as he moved towards the interrogation room. He was with Cage who had requested to speak to him. They both kept hoping that in one way or the other, he would confess his sins but the man was very stubborn. Cage was anxious as he walked alongside the detective, this was because every day he spent without Chloe made him so nervous and worried. He knew she was out there somewhere, and he had to find her no matter what the situation was. They walked past the bustling activity as officers walked around them and soon walked to the room where Mason was already waiting for them. Spotting him sitting calmly in the interrogation room through the glass window, Cage clenched his jaw. Every time he saw Mason, he got so angry instantly. The man had caused him so much pain that he couldn't imagine how he wasn't dead yet. Mason should have been long executed, he thought. But somehow he was still a free man because there wasn't a hundred percent pro
The next day, Mason was brought back to the interrogation room for last interrogations before being set free. The detective didn't waste any time and asked if he had anything else to say. "All I want to say..." He replied. "Is that I wasn't the one who did this. I will insist that I did not have a hand in what happened to Chloe. How aren't we sure Cage just wanted me to suffer. What if he actually has her captive. You never know." He said, amusing the detective who couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "You're free. You may have won this time. But mark my words, I'll make sure I find out the secret you're hiding." Mason's smile didn't leave his face. His eyes gleaming with a kind of cold amusement as he looked at the detective with a thinly veiled contempt. "Do you have anything against me? Something personal?" He asked. "Of course I don't. But I have problems with criminals, hard criminals that look so innocent but are devils deep down." Mason replied again. "What amuses me is t
After seeing Chloe's father, Mason and Rochelle returned home with a spring in their step and a glint of triumph in their eyes. It was night already. They were both exhilarated as they walked through the door. Mason couldn't help but laugh as soon as he collapsed on the couch. He was more than happy with what was happening right now. The fact that they had been able to turn Cage against his future father-in-law was the plan when he had phoned the man to make peace between them. He knew how Cage would react, and he was happy that his reaction was able to annoy the man who was already fed up with him. From the look of things, he was going to disown Cage as soon as Chloe was found, and he wasn't going to be worried about it. What mattered was that Cage was gone, and never returned to their family again. There wasn't a better way to end the day than like this. Rochelle grabbed a cup of water from the table and quickly chugged it down before carelessly kicked off her heels. Mason was mo
